The correct answer is "force of gravity." A supernova is a catastrophic explosion that occurs at the end of a star's life. It happens when a massive star runs out of nuclear fuel and can no longer generate enough energy to counteract the force of gravity, causing the star to collapse under its own weight. This collapse generates an intense shockwave that leads to the explosion of the star, releasing an enormous amount of energy and creating a bright and powerful supernova.
